Blake Lively established herself as a teen queen early on with roles in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” and “Accepted.” Her CW show “Gossip Girl” turned out to be a mega hit, with Lively’s Serena van der Woodsen at the center of much of the show’s steamy escapades.
It’s not all fun, games and gossip for Lively; she’s already starting to take on more serious material. This fall it was a part in the short film collective “ New York, I Love You” and then “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.” In the latter, Lively plays a teen version of Robin Wright Penn‘s Pippa who runs away from home to escape her bipolar drug addicted mother and religious father.
